12/31/2020 - Machine 9 at the base of the stairs near the main entrance is no longer there. It may have moved to another area of Science Center, but I couldn't find it.
It appears that Machine #8 has been replaced by machine 10 in the Planetarium. Machine 10 designs cost $1 each, the machine has preloaded zinc pennies.
